Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to investigate the anatomical features relating to nasofrontal and septum osteotomy during Le Fort Ⅲ osteotomy among patients with syndromic craniosynostosis, and to compare them with normal controls using computed tomographic cephalometry.
Materials and methods
A total of 63 subjects were included (syndromic craniosynostosis, n = 21; controls, n = 42). The craniosynostosis subjects were subdivided into group A (craniosynostosis patients without history of previous surgery, n = 8) and group B (craniosynostosis patients with history of previous surgery, n = 13). Cephalometric measurements based on computed tomographic images were analyzed.
Results
The angle between the refencing plane (HP) of the anterior cranial base and the most inferior point of the sphenoid sinus via Nasion (∠HP-N-ISS) was 23.85 ± 3.10°, 21.15 ± 4.64° and 28.32 ± 2.92° for group A, group B and the control group, respectively. The angle between HP and the posterior nasal spine (PNS) via nasion (∠HP- N- PNS) was 42.63 ± 2.02°, 38.50 ± 4.84° and 47.68 ± 2.62° for group A, group B and the control group, respectively.
Conclusion
This study characterized the surgically relevant anatomical features in nasofrontal osteotomy during Le Fort Ⅲ osteotomy. The safe range for osteotomy angle is significantly different between normal and syndromic craniosynostosis subjects. Awareness of this difference may prevent further complications.
